This is simply doing the

C.O.G.

problem and exiting up the crack at the halfway point along the traverse. After the first V3 section is finished, there's another V3 or so move to pull up into the crack with fingers and/or laybacking. It's a nice problem as is and a fine warm-up for the full traverse.

Chiseled Arete SDS

Start on the far left of Chiseled Arête Boulder, toward the road. Then traverse right following the sloping edge, starting with a sidepull & crimps, then gradually becoming more sloped and difficult until you're at the arete, and finish up on the top half of the chiseled arête.

This climb is fun because it gradually becomes more challenging as you traverse and more and more C.O.G.-dependent for the crux. Then finish up the glorious, chiseled arête! This climb looked undone. I did some lichen scrubbing and moved some rocks on the ground; however, the tree stump gave the impression there may have been a climb (either vertical or whatever) there before, but no there were other signs. So we did the traverse from far left to far right. ENJOY! This is another cool climb while you're working on

Chiseled Arete

at a similar grade.  The difficulty of this climb can vary dependent on the weather/ temps due to some of the holds being more friction-esk.

Ascend the slab and work left or right of the tree atop the boulder.  Downclimb 5 yards to the left of the problem.

Start low and left on arete with your left hand in a pocket and your right hand on a pinch. Tricky feet and heel hooks get you through to the start holds on the sit. Finish on the chiseled sit.

This is a beautifully sculpted arete in the middle of the Rock Garden. Start with a left hand mantle and a right hand pulling on the arete. Get a high right foot and make the move. Not a bad move, just not a move normally done in bouldering, at least in my experience.

After the big first move, hug the arete and move on up!

Start with your left hand on a small crimp and right hand on a sidepull underneath the feature.  Pull on and enjoy some fun, awkward moves.... Your left hand moves to an obvious left hold, then work your right hand to the arete and SQUEEZE!!! Match the arete and top out.... Moving around the arete is awkward and awesome.
